COCKPIT PHOTOGRAPHS.

I was tooling around the interweb and found this site:- http://uscockpits.com/ , it has a very very large amount of cockpit shots from most everything I can think of from the good old USA.

Amongst all things are Valkirie, B1, B2, and lots of other cockpits that I thought were not possible to get a look in, here are a few samplers….enjoy!.

Good luck with getting the Tsr2 photos. I have a real long shot request for you or anyone else. Heinkel He162 cockpit photos, i am working on a model of it and have photos of everything else i need.

Sorry Ollie, I have mainly been working on parrafin pigeons this last 18 months, now that I am re-visiting some museums I am getting more adventuress in asking to gain access to cockpits.

Proppellor driven offices are all on the list!!.

You may be interested to know that the last time I went to RAF Cosford I was talking to a very helpfull guide that said that if I went through the correct channels then access to the TSR.2 cockpit might be possible.

So far through work commitments and other life factors I have not got round to it, since starting this thread though I have got the ‘thirst’ for it and will be contacting Cosford soon.

Hi John,
Lovely shots do you have any of a Gnat or Javelin? Thanks

John.

Dave T, No Harriers I’m afraid and one of the only JayPee shots I have is quite poor……hope to fill me boots though at this years Cockpitfest!!!.

WV838, I have toured your website and I am very impressed, I to one day hope to be a cockpit owner, will yours be at Cockpitfest?, I was drooling over the Sea Hawk at Duxford the other day and although there are steps up to the cockpit the canopy was closed making photography impossible.

Regards,

John.

Pah… those are girlie cockpits! Here’s a mans office.
